Lyrics
In a seat by the window
Southbound on I-95
Prayin’ the driver
Will get me to you in time
The whole ride my mind’s eye
Is seeing your life flashing by
Angels fly
The things I remember
Too many to share in these lines
More than the markers
Of the miles I count rolling by
And my heart is breaking
Cuz you won’t see 49
Angels Fly
More than a sister
A daughter, a partner
So much more than a friend
And though I was older, you were the wiser
Cuz you knew that in the end
Angels fly
I sit by the window
Northbound on I-95
The ring on my finger
Proof that you walked in this life
And now that it’s over
I can’t even whisper goodbye
Angels fly
More than a sister
A daughter, a partner
So much more than a friend
Though I was older, you were the wiser
Cuz you knew that in the end
Angels fly
Angels fly
Angels fly
Fly angel fly
